Hydraulic fluid

Napa premium tractor hydraulic fluid in 5 gallon buckets works good and easy to find.
Plus they will recycle your old fluid.

I used the O'Reillys Premium Tractor Fluid on my last change. It's what my dealer uses and recommended.
It was very strange that it wouldn't accept ship-to-store, I bought a number of things my local store didn't have in stock but would be there the next day or even later the same day, usually it's coming from another close store so I assume they do store to store runs as SOP. It makes me wonder if they're discontinuing that item.

Here some have it. Some don't. There's one 15 miles from my house that carries it and on days I go to the office, I pass by it. It seems like the O'Reillys in smaller, farm areas carry it, but those in bigger cities don't.

It's the one in Sattler, Tx, a metropolis so big it's actually an unincorporated community, part of a 'census-designated place', Canyon Lake, Tx, population 21K, I'm 12 miles away, still in the same CDP, this ain't exactly city living. They had one in stock, and they've usually had more over the years I've been shopping there, it's that they wouldn't send another one that's seems weird to me. No big deal, just got me curious.

Looks good. It's $89 on amazon. Tractor Supply has Mobil Delvac for $60 and their Travelers premium for $48, and O'Reilly's is $58 but they don't want to sell it to me for some reason. Friday, they had 1 5gal in stock and said they would call and have more on Tuesday, they didn't, and trying to buy online, I could get one pickup in store but not 2, said it's unavailable. Weird, that's a very normal, typical thing they do. Try to buy on line have it shipped, it says 'eligible for free shipping', go to checkout and it says 'not available for free shipping'. I hate it when stores do that, they need better shopping software. Especially considering when I tried to keep going to see what shipping would cost, it crashed and sent me to an 'oops' page, so, oops, I'm going elsewhere.
This is the same one I buy on Amazon. I used the Tractor Supply premium universal before this. After having 2 hydraulic pumps go out after only 500 hours each I decided to try the Duragard. I have not hit that 500 hour mark yet using this. I can say when using my bucket or backhoe I do not get the same noise as I did before. But like others say, everyone has there opinion on what they like to use.

Where are you located, cold or hot? I was thinking some might be better suited to cold and others warmer temps. There doesn't seem to be a simple rating, most seem to come in one variety. I saw one with a GL-4 rating. Doing a little digging, I saw "It is important to know that the SAE Motor Oil Viscosity Chart (J300) is different from the SAE Gear Oil Chart (J306)." Well, I'm sure glad I know about that now. In central Texas, we don't get that cold, it's rare for it to remain below freezing for 2 days straight [the abomination that was last February an utterly bizarre and hellish exception].
